Abstract: |
The Dunstable and Whipsnade Downs Gateway Partnership are investigating the renovation of the visitor facilities on the Dunstable Downs. Following an initial selection study, the favoured option is to demolish and re-landscape the current facility and construct an entirely new, purpose built, facility a little to the south. As part of a larger Environmental Impact Assessment for the selected site, Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological field evaluation within the footprint of the proposed new development area. A number of trenches were targeted over suspected pits/structures and areas of magnetic enhancement identified in an earlier geophysical survey (undertaken as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment). Little of archaeological significance was discovered. In total 15 features were recorded. The majority were small pits of uncertain function and date, which did not yield any artefacts. |
